Chapter 13 Qimen Shows the Way

Although the old man and Li Lao are still speculating, they must finally decide how to deploy how to investigate, but today's speculation has not been thought about before, if there is really a dead man's tomb or altar that has not been opened for a thousand years, and there is a strange thing that the corpse is resurrected and walked in, this horror is definitely no less than the Longmen Cave back then, and you must not venture into it, and you must first follow Zhang Fengcheng's method before.

"Owner, get ready, the ropes behind the rat's legs are also connected one by one, and the torches are also arranged according to the tightness, you see, when will we do it?"

"Let's follow the old way and see if there's any living thing in there!"

Under an order, Lao Ba led everyone to place all the boxes containing mice in the three holes, and then opened the door of the box, and all the mice drilled into the hole, according to the division of labor of the front squadron, everyone set up a formation centered on the stone tablet to monitor the changes in each hole, and the rear team composed of Xiang Yong grasped the whereabouts of the rope.

Until the rope no longer extends, everyone's nerves are completely tensed, this is the most terrifying, no one knows what will happen in the cave, let alone what will be pulled out of this trick to lure the snake out of the hole, one by one frowning and staring at the preparation.

But after about half an hour, the rope did not move, the rat did not come out, the cave was as quiet as death, nothing happened. The leper head looked back at the old man.

"Boss, shouldn't we pull the rope?"

Slowly, these ropes were pulled out one by one, everyone looked at it, and they didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed, the rats tied in front of the rope were unharmed, except for the ropes on the left and right holes, which obviously felt that they were being wrapped, and the middle cave was unobstructed at all.

"It's strange, isn't that the corpse going in and never eating or hungry, or that our rats can't reach its realm?"

"This at least shows that there is no reaction to rats in the cave, and it should be safe, but now it is more complicated than the previous Longmen Cave, is it possible that we should go in like this?"

"Shortleg is right, we have to go in and see what the hell is going on inside."

After listening to the old man's words, the man and bear called everyone over to ask the owner to speak.

"Listen, this time into the cave is not a few brothers in the past adventure, we are facing big trouble this time, what happened that night Zhou is not exaggerated, presumably there must be something strange in this stone tablet cave, so, I have three chapters."

"First, if the villagers have martial arts, they can enter the cave with my brothers, and the rest are here to take care of the materials. Second, a special person takes turns to take care of the rope that goes into the hole with the brothers, which is the lifeline, and must not be negligent, with the stone tablet as a buffer, and put it in a circle. Third, the people outside the cave are divided into three teams, guarding the three cave entrances, and the muskets are still in charge of us, if you rush out of the monster and kill them! ”

In the end, the old man and Li Lao decided to start with the cave in the middle, because this is the deepest place for the villagers to enter.

"Man Xiong, remember, once the danger is discovered, withdrawal is not forced, it is not worth it to fold here, quit, how can it be solved by many people, there is nothing to advise, you are the boss, three steps and three heads, you know the rules, remember what I and the owner guessed just now, the tomb and the blood sacrifice, pay attention to the surroundings. Go ahead. ”

"Don't worry, two masters! Come with me, brothers! ”

After that, the man and bear took the short legs, Lai Yu, the leper head and the three Xiang Yong into the middle cave, and the rest of the people were responsible for their own affairs step by step, especially the rear team composed of Xiang Yong, eager to burn this cave, and the outside of the cave also sent firewood and fire oil one after another, and it turned out to be the old village chief's special advice, and they had been cutting down trees outside.

The old man and Li Lao sat by the stone tablet and waited for the bears and bears, and the eighth man waited on the side, but the one-eyed dragon always listened to the cave wall and the cave entrance, and Li Lao was now most worried about the speculation that the tomb and the blood sacrifice were one.

"The owner, if it was just the corpse running in, it would be fine, but now it may also involve the tomb and the blood sacrifice, if we combine our opinions, it may be a mixture, that is, there are both tombs and sacrifices, if so, it must be dangerous and abnormal."

"Alas, no matter so much for now, you have to find out the general situation before you can be sure, I hope nothing happens to the people and bears."

Just when everyone was nervously waiting, the people and bears came out.

"Owner, the terrain inside is exactly the same as the cave we walked all the way, there are almost no protruding stones, there are only one or two small holes at the end, people can't get into it at all, I carefully studied the cave wall, there is nothing special, let alone a secret door or something."

"In this way, my brother and I will take the eighth and one-eyed dragon to the right hole, and you will go to the left hole."

"The owner can't, the situation in the cave is unknown, what if there is a mistake?"

"I also eat this bowl of dangerous rice from the owner, don't hinder it, and send three more villagers to my side, okay, it's decided, let's go."

So, the two teams of people entered the cave separately, the old eight and the one-eyed dragon took the first half a step wrong, only to find that the inside was very narrow, barely able to pass two people side by side, and the one-eyed dragon obviously felt that the terrain here was actually up and down, but the slope was small and difficult to detect.

"Fellow, don't put the rope first, rest and rest, have you ever been into this hole?"

"No, but I've heard of it, it seems that I have walked to a big pit as far as I can't see, and there are all sharp stones that can't be seen, and someone fell down there and was thrust to death, and no one has ever come in again."

"One-eyed dragon, you said that the slope is undulating, I also feel it, and it seems that it is down now, and you have to hold on to the rope of the old eight for a while, so as not to fall below."

Sure enough, this downward slope turned out to be steeper and steeper, and on the way, the old man and Li Lao always paid attention to the top of their heads and sides, and the other villagers kept putting ropes.

Suddenly, there was obviously a fault on the ground, and if it weren't for everyone's early warning, they might have rushed straight down at a trot. The one-eyed dragon dragged the rope of the old eight and motioned to Xiang Yong to choose a place in the cave to fix it, and the rest of the people also tied the rope before coming to observe.

This look, as the rumors say, is all the tall and dense sharp stones at the bottom, and the space at the top is also abruptly upward, this cliff is like a balcony, the left and right sides continue to arc into the darkness.

"It's strange, there is such a vast space in this cave all the way down, host, shall we go down?"

"It's all here, and if the corpse really enters our cave, it will definitely continue to move forward, but, I vaguely feel that this time the incident is not like in the Longmen Cave, and the corpse will not kill us, it is estimated that he will just go where he should go. Old eight, let the villagers determine if they still need ropes, and when they are ready, let's go again, now go down first. ”

So, the three villagers returned to the cave to get the rope, and the rest of the people climbed along the cliff to the bottom first, if they just stood on the cliff and felt the boundless ocean of sharp stones as far as the eye could see, but standing under the cliff, the eyes were immediately blocked by huge sharp stones, these sharp stones were shaped like cones and the whole body was white, and the big ones actually required three people to hold hands to hug them.

"Boss, how far do we have to go here? I don't know what is going to come out from behind these rocks. ”

"Don't worry, old eight, although there are many sharp rocks here, it is also empty and quiet, and no movement can escape our ears, be careful, rest and rest now, and wait for those villagers to come back."

After a while, the old man took a nap, listened to the voices of the people and bears, and quickly got up, and saw him take Lai Yu and Xiang Yong to the edge of the cliff with a few rolls of rope on their shoulders, and the rope should be more than enough.

"Man Bear, come down first, what's the situation over there?"

"Owner, when we went in, we found that the terrain was similar to the hole in the middle, that is, there were many branch holes, but each hole was not deep, and it often became narrower and narrower at the end. So they continued to move along the main hole, not long the terrain is getting lower and lower, the space is getting bigger and bigger, there is a small lake in it, the villagers said that they have never heard of a lake here before, but the water depth is only to the calf, the radius is not more than a hundred steps, wading through the lake terrain began to go high, to the end, it is still a big cave, there are some small branch holes around, it seems that the lake should be the lowest point. ”

"We looked at the walls of the caves around the lake, and found that there were only many small holes, and there was nothing unusual about the torches shining into them, but they were too small to penetrate people, so we withdrew and brought our brothers to the owner."

Li Laoyi frowned when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.

"Have you ever drunk the water from that lake?"

"No, we are also afraid that the lake is not clean, Li Ye can rest assured."

"Now that everyone is gathered, it seems that it is time for us to get here, so tie the rope in this place and go!"

Now there is no need to worry about manpower, everyone is still in the same formation as the original division of labor, a few people and bears walk in front, and everyone begins to pass through the sharp stone area.

This place is really vast, and the sharp stones are similar, walking in the middle of it is like a labyrinth, fortunately there is no magnet interference here, the compass points steadily in the direction, and now everyone is from the entrance of the cliff to the west all the way straight.

"Rest in place, our rope is almost used, I really don't know when to go on like this, and I am stuck in the sharp rock area, I can't be sure if the direction is correct, it's too aimless, I have to sum it up."

"Big brother, is there any way to determine the lower position? We can't afford to go like this. ”

"Alas, we are not fleeing now, and there is no specific direction, so how can we determine the direction."

"No, no, it's not a way to go on like this."

"Boss, can you be sure what time it is?"

"Well, I've got a pocket watch, Shin Shi."

"Shen Shi, today is Ding You's day, if you choose the right time and place to respect the Qi Gate, if you start now, the death gate in the nine gates is in charge of hunting, and it falls in the palace, if you join the divine beast star, Teng Snake and Tianxin are all in the door of death, Teng Snake is a fierce god, the main light is bizarre, capricious, and vicious, but Tianxin is related to sacrifice, which is in line with our previous speculation."

"Brother, we are pressing for time now, I heard that Qimen Dunjia has a saying that it is called rushing from the door to slow down from God?"

"Yes, from "The Song of Smoke and Waves", but the meaning is not understood by the owner, but it means that if it is too late to choose the direction of the auspicious time in detail, then follow the direction where the value symbol is located, and there will be no danger. Now the value of the Fu Tianpeng Star is in the Kun Palace, the southwest position, the east family means to go here? ”

"I see, then do the opposite, how strange the things we encountered today are, but since the door of death represents the bizarre and sacrificial, it is in line with the current meaning, and the choice of the door of murder is to break into this strange place of death, it is decided, let's go to the direction of the door of death."

"Okay, now that the door of death is leaving, the direction is due south, let's go."

Now it is really heaven that there is a way to go against it, and hell has no door to break into, so the group tied the rope in the same place, and nervously turned south.

The old man's personality is like this, the more dangerous he feels, the more excited he becomes, and the instincts he has cultivated over the years are often extremely accurate.

Not long after, the short legs suddenly stopped everyone in their steps, and it turned out that they had found a pattern on the sharp stone, and when they stepped forward, they were the size of a palm, and the height was level with the line of sight, and the lines on it were twisted, like a writhing flame, and the lower part was arranged in three thin straight lines longitudinally, and two semicircles were each wrapped in a small circle.

"Totem? Is there really something sacred here? ”

"What can this totem see?"

"The top is like a flame, but the bottom is straight like a rod, it looks like a flower at a glance, a pair of semicircles are like human milk, and the small circle is like *** The totems of the ancients are all related to the blood origin of the tribe."

"For example, the Xiongnu, they chose the wolf as a totem because the legend is that the tribe is the descendant of the wolf, "Wei Shu. Gao Che Biography said that Shan Yu gave birth to two extremely beautiful daughters, and he thought that he could only marry to heaven, so he placed the two daughters on a high platform, and four years later, there was an old wolf who guarded the high platform day and night and howled. So the youngest daughter thought that this was the god of heaven in the form of a wolf, so she gave birth to a child with the old wolf**, and later more and more heirs multiplied into a country, so the wolf was used as the totem of the tribe. ”

"In that case, could it be that the tribe that carved this totem came from flowers? How is this possible, people don't say that they can't give birth with wolves, and even more so with plants. ”

"Yes, but it may also be purely a spiritual belief, like 'the Divine Destiny Bird, descending to give birth to the merchant', the merchant does not mate with the birds to give birth to the tribe, but simply worships them to be able to fly freely, and then associates his blood with the birds. Short legs, take the brothers to check, is there still such a totem around? ”

Sure enough, the people who scattered the investigation came back to report that there was such a totem in the place where the man bear and the short leg walked, and the two tied the rope from the first totem, and then circled each place, so after a few places, they found that the two ropes were like a road.

"It seems that this totem is distributed in twins, just like the signs on both sides of the road, let's just walk along, we all hold the guys tightly, and now we are on the right path!"
